Notes:
Digitally Remastered by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed March 7, 2006.
There are three distinct signatures in the sources used in the original source. Each can be seen clearly in spectral analysis. A 16khz spike can be seen in two of them, one having a lower B/W of approximately 10khz, and the other have a B/W of appoximately 16khz. The third has the same 16khz B/W but without the 16khz spike. The 16khz spike is, likely, due to CRT Horizontal EMI during the recording process. Each of the three signatures display a different sonic quality, the best being signature #1.
Signature #1(16khz B/W No 16khz Spike): Promised Land through Mexicali Blues & El Paso through You Ain't Woman Enough
Signature #2(10khz B/W With 16khz Spike): Bird Song through Stella Blue
Signature #3(16khz B/W With 16khz Spike): Here Comes Sunshine through Casey Jones
All three singatures were cleaned and processed separately due to the different sonic qualities, and the "Bertha Process" was not applied to signature #2 due to a beating noise caused during processing.
All defects from the original remain, including any cuts and drop outs.
Enjoy!

Where's The Matrix?
I'm scratching me head wondering where the matrix is? Oh well. This guy does a pretty good job of reviewing the show. So I'll defer to him. He's absolutely

Set I
Don't sleep on that first set. You want novelty? You got a He's Gone in the second slot. '73 versions of LL, Stella and TLEO. fantastic energy. Some cuts
...
but the sound is outstanding. Great separation and balance. The Playin In The Band is a'73 specialty. First set ender with the jazzy sick second set feel.

say 1984 --onward when i was going to shows--- I bet I could still get your life's savings for a GD-Time Machine trip back to 2/17/73. p.s.-Strong Phil/ Donna-BOX!

Due to the many technical problems I will rate this four stars. The performance is great though. I love these Jay Ashley remasters. Thanks Jay.

Here Is A Fined Gets Loose Wit Da Lucy
Here is a find, my friends. Here is a find. This is an admirable effort put on by the band, who were hot to trot, but initially stultified by mysterious
...
and sundrious PA anomalies. I had seen them 10 days earlier at Maples; nestled in the front row center balcony. There were numerous sound problems at that show, as there were May 26 when witnessed Kezar, 39 steps from stage dead center. It took the Grateful Dead and the Kwipment Krew a while to get used to this new monster system, obviously, but doubly obvious was how supreme the band sounded once every thing was dialed in. Every note from Loose Lucy on is sheer and dramatic perfection of both performance and reproduction. Listen to the Stella Blue. Stellar-electro-dead. The sound whispers and breaths pure multi-tiered harmonic. And then it just falls off and out into. El Paso. Gunplay! Bertha Sound Recapture is jewel-studded, pearlescent! This sound and definition of the WOS is reminiscent in every venue of the way the music sounded whether you were right up front or sitting behind a post. The WOS sound would follow you around a corner; it even sounded good in the bathrooms! This is a resplendent and accurate representation of just how good that evil Wall of Sound sounded... And at break they played the Association: Cherish. They Love Each Other the one you love to haight. and into Playin. Much fined gold. Tasmanian Devil burrowing in an out of palm tree trunks...with: a smile.... The Reprise is the crispestly-torched grind knuckles into cheese grater. Cuts into Truckin' abruptly. Second Set. Goes on and on and then ends...abruptly...into Jimmy Row and despite the snap end of tape it dovetails sveltely into Big River. Johnny Cash as Johnny wishes he sounded. LOL! Jerry defies logic and lets his strat move exponentially upward filling every whitless demand! And then, an equipment malfunction into.. Donna Jean singing You Ain't Woman Enough and she pulls it off with gusto and aplomb. Ahhhh, Here It Comes! The profound Grateful Dead: HC Sunshine>China Cat>Rider. Jerry goes metallic in GDTRFB and after that it's all cutting heads, all the way around. From loose to Lucy to Truckin' an' through to Casey Jones this is picture perfect Grateful Dead displayed in the full richness of their glory. An amazing, flaggergastingly spectacular capture of the new monster and all of it's twisting heads.
